Manzanita: Where Oregon Coast buyers go when they care about taste as much as ocean proximity.

Manzanita is the market people THINK Cannon Beach is… until they actually see Cannon Beach crowds in July and go “yeah… no.”
This is the coastal buyer that wants design-forward, quiet, walkable, refined, elevated coastal lifestyle — but not the ultra niche micro rarity price tier.
Manzanita sits right in the center of that sweet spot.
Average sold price YTD (SFR only): $901,100
This is the city where second home buyers + lifestyle buyers choose a home like a brand identity decision — not a panic purchase.
and this stat is wild:
Manzanita % list price YTD: -2.3%
Translation:Manzanita is letting you negotiate a little bit. This is extremely rare on the Oregon Coast at this price tier.
The tempo here feels… healthy.

17 days tells me this market is liquid. Homes that show well + are priced correctly move here. Buyers aren’t guessing in Manzanita... they know what they want and they commit fast.
Who should be watching Manzanita?
Portland + Lake Oswego buyers who want curated coastal lifestyle
cash STR buyers who care more about nightly rate potential than volume
second home + remote worker buyers who want walkability + quiet + coffee + vibe
Manzanita is where you buy when you want the coast to feel intentional — not chaotic.
